NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION PROGRAM
SUICIDE RECONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
(640-2015)
The following is a list of requirements, resources and documentation needed to conduct a thorough
reconstruction. It is also important to have one person identified who will coordinate documentation collection,
interview scheduling, and serve as a contact person for the reconstruction team. Typically, this person would be
the SIA. Having the following items collected in a tabulated binder will expedite the review process and ensure
that relevant data is examined. Please remember that not all items will be available or applicable to every case.
A cony of this binder will be a permanent record that leaves with the reconstruction team.
